		Gruoch berates Demona, telling her that it was Canmore, not MacBeth who betrayed her, destroying the rest of her kind.
		Gruoch prevents MacBeth from going after Luoch, saying that he is already accused of sorcery, and even his loyal Scotsmen would fear him as a revenant.
		Gruoch and Macbeth have one final farewell to each other before they part, Macbeth to leave Scotland forever so that his son may stand against Canmore with some hope of victory; their parting scene is a truly moving one (and makes one feel that Shakespeare has truly done this couple a monumental disservice).

		Gruoch had been previously married to Gillicomgan, Mormaer of Moray, a cousin of Macbeth's father Finlaech.
		She and Macbeth had no children, but it is likely that as the years passed, she may have become anxious to see her son Lulach accepted as his stepfather's heir.
		Lulach was called "the Simple", so possible it is permissible to see the influence of Gruoch behind his coronation at Scone immediately upon the death of his stepfather.

		They obviously lived at the same time, Gruoch in 1032, at the death of her first husband, already was mother of a son, and she is mentioned about 1050 as a benefactress to the Loch Leven monks.
		My conclusion, wading through all this porridge (and this is just the bit I remember) was that the sanctifying of St Olaf had led to a lot of cleaning up in the background; that Halfdan's dates and even parentage were shaky, and that there was no proof that Ingibjorg couldn't have been born about 1015-17.
		Gruoch, who is not mentioned anywhere, might be descended from one of the King Kenneths, and the Boete son of Kenneth killed by Malcolm (King Malcolm II, it is suggested) might be an unknown brother of hers.

		P 65) It is highly probably that Gruoch believed that Macbeth was entitled to the kingship based on the fact that she saw Malcolm II (Duncan and Macbeth's grandfather) as an illegitimate ruler, since Malcolm II had killed her likely grandfather, Kenneth III, thereby excluding her descendants from eligibility.
		Beyond this however, it seems that Macbeth married Gruoch to cement his political ambitions, which were improved as a result of a marriage with confirmed monarchical descent.
		Given her ancestry, Gruoch is considered to have wielded some power within Macbeth's court, but little is recorded of the role of Queen's in medieval Scotland.

		Gruoch is perhaps the most interesting of the three; married - or sold - to a old man while still a child, she falls irrevocably in love with Macbeth when he kills her husband and carries her off.
		Despite the romance, though, this isn't a sanitised Hollywood vision of the eleventh century; it's dark, and dirty, and there are enemies at every side.
		Gruoch may love her rescuer, but she is not blind to his nature - Macbeth is a warrior and a murderer, who will do whatever's necessary to further his ambitions.

		And sadly, in the tragic play, the character of MacBeth and still more of his great lady and queen, Gruoch, have been grievously defamed.
		MacBeth, grandson of Malcolm II, was no savage usurper and regicide - just as his cousin, "the gracious Duncan" of the play, was not a gentle king but a weak and foolish king who was going to be a disaster for Scotland, and died, not murdered, of battle wounds.
		While the Queen Gruoch, who had more right to the throne than either Duncan or MacBeth, was never the female monster portrayed in Lady MacBeth, but a woman of great character and courage.
